About the Event
This interactive session explores how evaluation competencies must evolve to respond to the transformational imperative in an era of polycrisis. Drawing on a new framework of 11 competencies and the 3Cs (competencies, capacities, capabilities), the session will combine a short framing presentation with participatory breakout discussions. Participants will reflect on the relevance of the competencies and how to operationalise them across diverse contexts to enable evaluation to contribute to just, inclusive, and systemic transformation.
